Following a £9.5 million investment, Middleton Hall has been transformed into a world-class conference venue with a 406-seater auditorium and some of the finest facilities around.
Hull was recently named in National Geographic's Best Places to Visit in 2026, and it's easy to see why. The city pairs excellent shops, bars and restaurants with a rich cultural scene of theatres, galleries and historic sites, while the wider East Yorkshire region offers peaceful countryside, charming market towns and a striking coastline.
With more than 700 years of history, Hull is a city where the past sits comfortably alongside a lively modern culture. Medieval streets, distinctive architecture, creative quarters and a redeveloped waterfront reflect a place shaped by resilience and reinvention.
At its heart is Hull's Old Town, a highlight for any visitor. Its cobbled streets carry a long history, from royal intrigue and maritime trade to the Blitz of the Second World War. Today the area is home to the free Museums Quarter, where you can see the mammoth at the Hull and East Riding Museum or explore the newly reopened Hull Maritime Museum which returns in 2026 after a major transformation.

Nearby, the beautifully restored Queen's Gardens offer a relaxing greenspace right in the centre of the city.
Westfield Court is a new £130 million development that provides spacious, contemporary accommodation less than 5 minutes from Middleton Hall.
A range of room types are available, from single en-suites and deluxe bedrooms to one-bedroom apartments, and all of which offer modern, bright interiors.
If you would like to stay off campus, there are many options within the city.
